Ayr United v Raith Rovers Match Preview & Free Bets

Ayr United’s Somerset Park has long been one of my favourite football grounds, an old-school type stadium with vast swathes of terracing and ramshackle stands. The club has as yet resisted the temptation to up sticks and move lock stock and barrel to an out of town complex and instead have chosen to stay put, at least for the time being. Undoubtedly a large factor in this decision is lack of funds and this is hardly surprising given the relatively few supporters that turn up week in week out.

Things are improving on that front however and with the ‘Honest Men’ putting in some excellent performances and sitting at the top of Scottish League One, the fans at least have plenty to cheer. Indeed Ayr have been enjoying some pretty emphatic wins of late with the goals flowing in with reckless abandon, their last three outings returning eleven goals scored and just one conceded. Can they continue this fine form when they lock horns with Raith Rovers at Somerset Park on Tuesday evening?

Raith Rovers are also having a fine old time of things in League One with the Kirkcaldy outfit sitting level on points with Ayr United as things stand, some five points separating the joint leaders with third-placed Alloa Athletic. They too have been enjoying some fine form both at home and away although they will be in for a very tough time against an Ayr United side which are a tough nut to crack on home soil.

We believe that Ayr United will edge this match although both nets should be bulging at some point. Indeed this has all the makings of a thoroughly entertaining affair and given that both sides sit level at the top of the table, Somerset Park will almost certainly be packed to the rafters on Tuesday evening. Maybe.
